Verbessere deine Fotografie Teil I: Tipps und Tricks, um fantastische Fotos mit jeder Kamera aufzunehmen

Hi Tereza,Thanks for sharing tour project. here's my thoughts on the photos.Yes these lines are great, you're in the right 'ballpark', but to be honest I'm not sure the 2 sets of lines work well together.I think you have 2 pictures here, one with the orange brickwork, and the other with the windows.For the brickwork, you could have stood in the same place, with the camera position very close to the wall, and placing you on a third on the right hand side.Same idea with the windows, standing at the end, and also showing your reflection.With both images, I would use the largest aperture possible to blur the foregound.Also, I feel you are too straight on to the camera, try leaning with your back or right shoulder against the wall or windows and then turn your face to wards the camera. You're also a tad low in the frame. By the way, the light is very good, as is the exposure, so well done there.Cheers, Bernie

For the 'Frame within a Frame photos,, they've worked great havn't they, especially the 2nd one. What a lovely expression too from the child. (love the hat and bobbles!). Great light on her face (provided by 'Top Shade')

The third photo could have been improved by bringing them forward a  little because the light has fallen off and so their faces are a bit dark.

I would have asked the person in green to sit on the wooden edge of the frame and to get closer to the child, as it is, the pose looks a bit awkward.

Thanks again for posting. 

Cheers,
Bernie

Thank you so much for your feedback. I just added a natural light portrait to the project. 
I feel like I have a bit of problem with the rule of thirds. Is there any trick how to accomodate that to be more natural when taking photos?

Hi Tereza, remember that the Rule of Thirds is just a guide, it's not a hard and fast rule, sometimes perfect symmetry works best with the subject dead-centre. There's no real trick to it, just try placing the subject on a third, then take another shot with subject somewhere else in the frame, and compare the photos when you get home. 

Regards the baby photo, it looks a little under exposed, you probably used one of the semi-auto modes e.g. Aperture or Shutter Speed Priority, and the metering system was fooled by the light coloured blanket into lowering the exposure.  Use exposure compensation, maybe +1.0 or +1.5 next time. Baby's eyes are quite dark too, so make sure the baby is placed fairly close to the window as in my video. I think the pose itself and baby's expression are both lovely

Portrait with lines. Looking now at this photo, I would position the person more to the side so he's at a third of the picture.<img srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/project/9d6aa470ce735418c9e159497c592010/5bc96e68.jpg 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/project/9d6aa470ce735418c9e159497c592010/5bc96e68.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" src="https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/project/9d6aa470ce735418c9e159497c592010/5bc96e68.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Practice, practice, practice - image 2 - student project">

Natural light portrait (my 7month old was probably too old for the 'blanket pose' since she kept rolling over :D )
